Worked flat in pieces (back, front, sleeves) then seamed. Ribbed lower band is worked first, then the body pattern is established with moss stitch at the sides and cable panels through the centre. Neck is shaped on the front, shoulders are joined, and the neckband is picked up and worked in rib.

Skill level

Intermediate (cables, bobbles, shaping, and picking up stitches).
